Perhaps I should not be surprised that this article only quotes men. But if you’re interested in more about the the “collision of American popular culture &public health,” may I recommend my own book? “No Game for Boys to Play: The History of Youth Football and the Origins of a Public Health Crisis”

For Vogue, I talked to Ramell-Correen Frederick, aka Cheeks, who embroidered Knicks gear in the streets of Brooklyn after Game 5. He uses a 104-year-old hand-crank, chainstitch embroidery machine that he named Jessica.

I would point an interested reader and careful thinker to two things. One, the university recently built another top-down school without student demand or sustainable funding. It isn’t doing so well. Two, I would point out that sports dynasties are built over generations.
